3 yrs 5 days :) Had a 91 2.5 yrs prior as my first car. But unfortunately it had a premature death after a few months due to 3 hands on the wheel and a tree. Being funny isnt always funny :(

That car was great, and started the disease. It went sideways more extreame times, yet controlled, probably about the same amount as times my 96 has.

And you guys wonder why chicks dig me.


I think Repo has us all beat... hell I wasn't even driving in 89.. how old are you Repo?

I got my license in 92... but I was (and still am) into 4X4's until my daily driver Scort GT got me into 'fast' cars. I swore I'd never own a car... then I got a job that required a daily commute of almost an hour.

240sx since Oct 30th, 01. But I've owned nothing else besides Nissans for 4 years now (entire time I've had a liscence).

80k in 5-6 yrs, not bad...but mileage wise I think I got you guys all beat (well maybe not all). I put 75k on my Sentra in two years.

Ah, I like this system of measurement much better, now I'm at least in the running. I've put just over 62,000 miles on my 95.

It must be all of those trips to Canada to see Blink0r's one-eyed sister.


Nope.. almost 3 years... purchased in January of 2000. But yes, most of it was in the first two years. I've since moved much closer to where I work and go to school.

And no... Blinks sister makes her way down here,.... I wouldn't travel next door to see that sullied skank!

Hes an amazing driver, no? I love watching him at the 24hr Rolex in daytona. He would have easilly won the 3hr enduro they just had last weekend if they didnt put rob (cant rem is thats the right one, the owner of dyson) into the seat on the final few laps.

I rem 2 yrs ago he was so far ahead that he blew his engine with like 3 or 4 hrs to go and still got, what was it, I think 3rd overall and first in his class.

I think question was originally who was the most experienced 240sx driver, not who had the most mileage on their 240sx. You might get the best answer by taking the average mileage you drive a year and multiply it by the number of years you've had your license. My total comes to 810,000 miles. Add in rental car and race car mileage, I'm probably close to a million. Call me Grandpa Bubba.
